Holy Trinity Catholic hosted our recent new school open house. Nearly 400 people came to the event to get a first look at our wonderful new school. As people completed their guided tours through the school they were amazed at how versatile and engaging our classrooms and common spaces will be. We also want to thank our Holy Trinity high school students who volunteered their time as tour guides through the school. Many of our wonderful teachers also took the time to be in their classrooms during the tour to answer questions and to point out some of the new features that will enhance the educational experience of our students.
We have taken great care to fulfill our students' needs for an environment that encourages discovery and deeper learning. Most importantly, we have dedicated teachers and staff who fulfill the mission of providing a high quality education in a Christ-centered school. Should you have any questions or would like more information about Holy Trinity Catholic please call 319-372-2486. Thank you!
Rodeo, Rodeo, Rodeo 1000 Volunteers needed! The summer months are very busy in preparation of rodeo, which this year will take place September 4th-7th. This project cannot be successful without the support of ALL Holy Trinity families, faculty and supporters. Please fill out a volunteer sheet found on the HTC website or in the church breezeway or call Melissa Pieper @ 319-371-5215 or piepme@gmailcom to sign up.
Politics and religion are supposed to be two topics you never bring up at family gatherings. These topics too often seem to drive wedges between people who love each other. It would be easier to talk about pop culture and other frivolous topics. I remember when I was a teenager my uncle became a born-again Christian. Suddenly, his siblings wanted to talk to him less. When there was the rare family gathering, great effort was put into bringing up topics of less substance so as to crowd out of the conversation of his take on faith. But that seems pretty unfortunate. In fact, faith seems like the most important topic to bring up with those you love. Jesus knew his message would bring division and conflict to many a household. Fear of conflict was not to be a reason for not sharing one's faith. It is through our witness and testimony that others see what a difference Jesus makes in life. Perhaps the best way of giving witness is by how we live our lives. If we are striving to live an authentic stewardship way of life, we will be speaking volumes about faith without saying a word. We need to share with family our journey because we love them. My uncle had found a path, but he wanted to forcibly tell everyone what he or she needed to do, rather than simply demonstrate that through his actions. Will the good news of Jesus Christ sometimes cause a rift in the fabric of a family? Yes, because the way of the cross is not easy. But if at the next family gathering you take the time to give of yourself freely and completely to those around you, then those you love may take notice and may want to know the reason for your generosity and graciousness.
